Setting JAVA_HOME

Question

I'm having a problem when running programs that use Java from the command line. I get back a message saying Java.exe could not be found.

I've followed the instructions found in several places for setting JAVA_HOME in Windows 7.

As can be seen in the image I'm pointing to the JDK folder as instructed, I've also tried several variations including linking to the bin folder(where java.exe is located).

What am I doing wrong, and how can I debug this.

EDIT:

Typing Set in Command Prompt outputs

Answer 1

Make sure that the jdk.xxxxx/jre/bin folder is in your PATH
